What Does it Mean to Have Glowing Skin?

When it comes to describing the way we want our skin to look, glowing or radiant is probably one of the most common adjectives people use. But what does glowing skin actually mean? What does it look like and what can we do to achieve it?


What is glowing skin?


In general, having glowing skin means that you are healthy inside and it shows on the outside or your skin. Healthy or glowing skin does not necessarily mean flawless complexion, but skin that is able to defend itself against external aggressors, including ultraviolet light, pollution, and stress.

Healthy or glowing skin usually has the following characteristics:

  • Fewer blemishes or breakouts
  • Sufficiently hydrated (not dry or oily)
  • Fair complexion (instead of being red or inflamed)
  • Smooth texture


The science behind glowing skin


There are two scientific reasons attributed to glowing skin: cell renewal and blood circulation. 

  • Cell renewal – refers to the process of creating new cells to replace old and existing ones. Cell renewal is essential to keeping skin healthy and glowing. This process, however, slows down with age and several factors such as stress, poor diet, lack of sleep, and hormonal fluctuations can negatively affect both cell renewal and skin health. A slowed cell renewal can lead to rough and dull skin.
  • Blood circulation – provides your skin with blood that is rich in both oxygen and nutrients, which gives it a healthy look or glowing appearance. Working out, for instance, increases blood circulation, which causes the skin to glow or appear a bit rosy. Reduced blood flow can lead to pale complexion and is prone to premature aging. 

It is also important to know that there are a range of factors that affect skin health and appearance. This can affect how easy or difficult it will be for you to achieve glowing skin. These factors include genetics, hormones, health conditions, environment, and lifestyle habits.
